1st Birthday

Rory's 1st birthday was Saturday and we celebrated with a family party.

 Many thanks to my mom for doing most of the work to make this cake and supplying lots of party supplies.

 Many thanks to Aunt Vickie for decorating the cupcakes and supplying loads of food.

Cute lollipop bouquet, Grandma Resa! 

OK, so this is not a bday photo, but it is new, depicting Rory learning how to climb in the little rocker at MeMa's house.

Back to the birthday...

 Chillin' with MeMa while set up is underway

 Funny enough, Rory was the only kid who really got into the pin-the-cloud-on-the-rainbow game Aunt Allison made.

 Getting ready to eat her cupcake. It's hard to get the photos in order on blogger sometimes. Sorry.

 Looking outside with Grandma Resa

So pretty!

 So, the rainbow cake did not turn out like the one I saw on Pinterest, but it tasted great and our guests seemed impressed.

What's happening in that jar, Alex and Georgia?
